AcuConsole
AcuConsole is a powerful yet easy to use GUI based pre-processor for AcuSolve. It has a built-in mesh generator which operates on 3D CAD models from ProE, Parasolid, ACIS, and water-tight discrete CADs (STL and surface mesh). It also allows reading an existing mesh in a number of formats, including AcuSolve raw mesh, ICEM-CFD, Harpoon, and a number of commercial CFD file formats. Through an intelligent menu system with many defaults, it helps the user to fully set up a problem, generate input file and optionally launch AcuSolve.
